Alex Solis + DK reference = Sell Out.


I bet this will be gone by 10am.

Look at that tasty sandwich.

LOOK AT IT

Even Donkey Kong has gotta eat, I suppose.

He better be eating Banana bread or else I'm going bananas in here.

*gasp* A videogame related shirt! I'm hoping that is a banana sandwich.

This has a very Perry Bible Fellowship feel to it, and I like that. I miss that comic.

very nice

What's he drinking there? Looks like some tasty Mario juice.

There's always money in the banana sandwich.

DID YOU KNOW?

In the original Donkey Kong game, Mario was known as "Jumpman" and was a carpenter instead of a plumber.

NOW YOU KNOW!

This gorilla looks like the victim of a terrible ape-fighting operation (as evidence by unsightly grimace and unusual scar on rightside of the face).

This PSA wants you to remember: Just say know to animal cruelty, everyone!

This shirt will keep you from getting chumpatized.

don't mind the fact of a gorilla munching on sandwich on a steel foundation.. but the second barrel just floating around bothers me :S

This reminds me of Billy Madison-- Snak Paks and Donkey Kong at lunch time.

EPIC!!! In for 1
I have the sudden urge to grab a hammer and beat the crap out of the guy how stole my girl...

Hope that's a paid union break you're taking there, Mr. Kong. If not, get back to throwin' them barrels. They ain't gonna throw themselves ya' know.

I'm really on the fence with this one. On the one hand it is pretty funny. On the other hand, for some reason, the fact the ape doesn't look more like Donkey Kong is upsetting.

If any of you haven't seen the documentary King of Kong you really should. Especially if you buy this shirt.

just copped mines epic win

This reminds me of that old photo of the steelworkers on top of that steel girder. The one taken during the depression.

This one;

AND the name comes from the notoriously bad translations found in many Japanese-English dictionaries. They wanted to call it "Stubborn Ape", so they looked up "stubborn" and were given the english "donkey" and looked up "ape" and were given the english "kong."

I heard this guy's cousin Donkey Kong was lucky enough to get a management position.

The first i knew, the second i did not.

This i do know:
Mario was named after a person who was hassling the then failing Nintendo of America for rent.
Luigi was named after the group's favorite pizza parlor.

How did this get past the "no-video-game-reference-forever-and-ever-until-the-end-of-eternity" rule? :O

I wouldn't be so sure. The population of wooters at large many times will not recognize greatness, or at least not with their wallet. I thought Alex Solis' shirt "the original b-boy" would sell out, but it didn't.

"Can't you SEEM I'm off the clock right now?" Great to see you guys use spell checker instead of real humans to edit your descriptions.

I always have faith in Alex's designs.

Awesome design =)
My first purchase and I had to buy two.
One for me and the other for the BF.

Yikes we never do matching anything but there is always a first.

It's an angry ape sitting on a steel girder relaxing next to some barrels eating a sammich. So, is it really video game related?! ;)
Cool design! Bought.
www.1UPshirts.com has some video game related shirts, too.

I have a slight problem with this shirt. Donkey Kong didn't wear a tie until Donkey Kong Country. Otherwise a great design.

I need to put money in the bank account for this shirt. T_T

Fun! Great colors too.

It's a shame the gorilla is so effing ugly.

Certain plumbers would do best to watch out; apes are omnivores.
